KING 5: The Yellow Jackets

Sometimes - all you need is a hook.

Forgive me if this is an older campaign, I just stumbled across it.

KING 5 has developed a fun hook for their weather coverage. When its bad out - the yellow jackets come out. Simple. Something for people to remember.

Here are a few examples:

The signature color and the jackets are also found in their otherwise B&W image campaign from a year or two ago:

Ha...that was my only comment on the 2011 spot...the way the VO guy says 'King 5 News' ...sounds like Ron Burgundy...'great Oden's Raven...it's King 5 Nooooooze.' lol A little over the top, but but good spots nonetheless.
